Python Selenium iissue

Question

So im trying to automate the cookie clicker game here https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ but Im having a problem purchasing the upgrades Here is some code

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/")

cookies_count = driver.find_element_by_id("cookies")
cookie = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
    EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "bigCookie"))
)
items = [driver.find_element_by_id("productPrice" + str(i)) for i in range(1, -1, -1)]
while True:
    cookie.click()
    count = int(cookies_count.text.split(" ")[0])
    for item in items:
        value = int(item.text)
        if value <= count:
            WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, item))).click()

After I reach 17/18 cookies it stops with no error and my explict wait times out.

The item is not directly "clickable" because the browser thinks another element is covering it. So you have to use JavaScript to directly click it:

Replace:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, item))).click()

With:

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", item)

But is there another way doing it directly with python?

Not that I am aware of. Take a look at this post.
